DRINK

Solid Gould

O'Donovan's 2100 W. Irving Park Road 773-478-2100

It's a Wrap

Streeter's Tavern 50 E. Chicago Ave. 312-944-5206

Planning to spend your lunch break shopping for gifts? Get your wrapping done too at the River North bar's complimentary self-serve gift-wrapping station, which includes paper, tape, scissors, ribbons and bows and is open daily through Dec. 24.

Rock music critics Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot (also the hosts of the WBEZ-FM 91.5 program "Sound Opinions") host a live "Sound Opinions" music-film event which features a screening of perhaps the most iconic Chicago movie of all time—you guessed it, "The Blues Brothers"—and discuss the flick's influences, impact and legacy—and, of course, its music. 7:30 p.m. $9.
